Historically, the patriarchal way of life and the laws that prohibit women from owning property did not allow them to possess enormous wealth and become really rich women for a long period of time.

There were times when the lot of women were “three K” – “Kinder, Kueche, Kirche” (children, kitchen, church, in the words of the last German emperor Wilhelm II). But times are changing and modern ladies are trying to compete with men. In business, this is not so good: only 11% of the richest people are women. But what women!

If you think that modern rich women are refined socialites whose fingers are shaking from the weight of diamond rings, we hurry to disappoint you: rich women pay little attention to their appearance, but they take great care of their health and the health of their finances.

According to Forbes, every year the number of women who multiply their finances is steadily increasing. If in 2010 Forbes included only 91 ladies in their rating of billionaires, then by 2019 their number had increased to 243. The dynamics are definitely promising.

Most of these women inherited their money from their dads. However, they successfully increase family wealth by putting the management of the company on their fragile shoulders.
